I would very strongly recommend you take the time out to listen to Gilles Peterson's latest show where he digs through the Brownswood crates to put together some of the best tunes from the golden years of '94 -'98.

look forward to listening to that.
check out last weeks essential mix by breakage while there's time, too. some nice deebee in there.
scuba was bigging up drum n bass on peterson's show the week before as well.
my knowledge has fallen right off, but it's good to know drum n bass is still being made.

The majority of it being made now is simple, functional shite without any real sense of forward progression and innovation - which is such a shame given how powerfully innovative it used to be as a genre. There's still some great stuff being made on the fringes though - the Autonomic stuff made by Instra:mental, dBridge, Skream, Scuba, ASC and Spectrasoul often reaches quite incredible heights. It's definitely worth checking out their Fabriclive for anyone remotely interested in DnB.

Of course, there's still some great older stuff - Metalheadz and Moving Shadow stuff and Photek for sure.
